Philosophy & Religion Spirituality & New Age Psychology & Self-Help
John Blofeld’s vintage guide Mantras Sacred Words of Power opens the door to Buddhist, Hindu and Taoist sonic mysticism in just 106 illustrated pages. First published by Allen & Unwin in 1979, this compact paperback explains how sacred syllables work, when to chant them, and what spiritual results practitioners have reported for centuries.
Ideal for New Age explorers and seasoned meditators alike, Blofeld blends scholarship with practical tips on choosing, pronouncing and visualising mantras. The book’s concise reference format lets readers dip in for quick inspiration or follow its step-by-step instructions for deeper practice.
This 1979 illustrated edition shows gentle shelf wear—edge scuffing to the cover and faint foxing on the front endpaper—while the interior pages remain clean, tight and free of smoke odour. A collectible copy that still feels welcoming in the hand, ready to accompany your cushion or altar.
Add a touch of timeless wisdom to your spirituality shelf with this accessible classic on mantra meditation.
